Lindsay Kay Hayward says a guy with a gun has made her life miserable and she needs a judge to protect her from harassment and harm.

Lindsay -- the nearly 7 footer on TLC's "My Giant Life" -- claims her manager has guns, practices shooting them and has "joked that the only way to 'put an Amazon down' is to shoot them."

The former WWE professional wrestler says it's not just about her safety ... she says former manager Brad Konia is on a campaign to destroy her personally and professionally. She says Konia has contacted her employers and potential employers and slandered her. She says he's done the same on her website.

She humble brags a bit, telling the judge she's especially worried Konia will sully her upcoming guest spot on "Grey's Anatomy."

For his part ... Brad tells TMZ he's never threatened to harm Lindsay ... not even jokingly. He believes Lindsay's gripes stem from an ongoing lawsuit he filed against her over money.

The judge didn't buy the emergency and rejected Lindsay's petition for a temporary restraining order.

The 'Real Housewives' shows have a big problem ... they build their seasons around romances that blow up before the shows air.

Porsha Williams is the latest R.H. star who happily filmed burgeoning love that flamed out. She hooked up with Buffalo Bills star Duke Williams and they cavorted for season 6 shows, but when the cameras stopped rolling they stopped too, only after a few months of dating.

The problem ... viewers know the relationship is history, so the storyline doesn't ring true.

Porsha doesn't have a problem scoring a touchdown on the playing field ... she just can't hold out for the win.

It also happened on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," when Brandi Glanville dated a real estate agent but they were dunzo before the shows aired.

Kim Zolciak's mini-stroke was far more serious than anyone thought ... we've learned she had a heart procedure following the TIA and could have died.

As we reported, Kim had the mini-stroke in Atlanta, hours after appearing on "Dancing with the Stars." She had lost feeling on one side and her ability to speak, but it was only temporary.

Kim has told friends that doctors thought she could be released almost immediately, but a test revealed there was a more serious, underlying heart issue. Doctors kept her in the hospital and she told friends the docs performed a procedure Friday. We do not know the nature of the problem or what doctors did to correct it.

We're told Kim would never have known about the heart issue had she not gone into the hospital for the TIA. And doctors told Kim if the heart problem were left untreated, it could have become life-threatening.

Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are in a battle for queen, but we've learned based on the numbers, Kim is poised to win the war.

Kylie supporters came out in droves 10 days ago when the Kardashian/Jenner sisters' pay websites launched, with 74% of users downloading Kylie's app -- Kim was in third place with 9%. But we got hold of the numbers, and the tables are turning ... fast.

With more than a million users now using the pay sites, we're told Kylie has 40% of the users ... Kim stands at 30%. Kylie is clearly still winning, but we're told there has been a steady and continued narrowing of the gap, and Kim could overtake Kylie in days.

Kim -- who does not like losing to anyone -- has turned up the heat. She's posted ass-shots and other hot pics on her various social media platforms, driving fans to her app.

The app source who's worked with the family says Kim knows how to use social media better than anyone in her family -- Kylie included -- and when she wants to win, she'll win. And she wants to win.

Kim posted a video with Kylie promising to pass on the media torch and teach her all of her tricks. Our advice to Kylie? Michael Jordan used that trick before with the youngins ... and it worked every time.

"Big Brother" star Vanessa Rousso is headed down the aisle with her longtime GF, Mel.

Mel popped the question Thursday night in their hotel room before the "Big Brother" season 17 wrap party in West Hollywood.

Vanessa didn't win the $500k on "Big Brother"... she got eliminated in the final week, but she's not exactly hurting for cash. She's considered one of the top female pro poker players in the world.

She announced the engagement onstage at the party. They've been dating for years.

All bets are now off.

Teresa Giudice has made it clear ... one thing she DEFINITELY misses about life outside metal bars is hot steamy lovin'.

We're told during an upcoming Bravo special about Teresa's time in prison, viewers will be treated to phone conversations between Teresa and Joe. The camera is on Joe ... you only hear Teresa from the prison phone.

During one conversation, Teresa pleads for a little phone sex. Joe laughs it off ... probably because a camera is trained on his mug.

Teresa talks about creating a fantasy life behind bars. Somehow she was able to watch "Magic Mike" and says she pictured Joe's face on Channing Tatum's body as he grinded away. Picture that.

As for a little 'OITNB' action ... nada. Teresa says she's had no romantic interaction with female inmates, but she hears plenty of it.

The special airs October 11.

Kim and Khloe Kardashian, along with mama Kris Jenner, took a trip to San Diego Tuesday to get tested to see if they carried a genetic cancerous gene.

The women, accompanied by Dr. Paul Nassif from "Botched," went to Pathway Genomics, a company that tests for BRCA1 ... a gene mutation that causes a high likelihood of breast and ovarian cancer.

Angelina Jolie famously had preventive surgery after she tested positive. They were also tested for heart disease and diabetes.

The patriarch of Kim's family -- Robert Kardashian -- died of cancer at 59.

Kate Gosselin's ex-bf Jeff Prescott says the mother of 8 only wants to date him to boost ratings for her show.

Sources close to the millionaire COO tell TMZ Jeff THOUGHT he was in a real relationship with Kate, but quickly learned she only wanted him to appear on "Kate Plus 8" this season as her love interest.

We're told Jeff agreed to do the show a few months back, but when he realized what was up, he bailed because he felt she was just using him. No shock ... they're not on speaking terms.

So much for a new babysitter ...

A second millionaire on "The Millionaire Matchmaker" in less than 2 months has been charged with brutalizing a woman ... and the latest one was so bad, the guy was arrested for attempted murder.

John Bonavia was featured on 'Millionaire Matchmaker' on March 20, 2014. According to the show, he's a financial adviser and worth $1 million.

On Sept. 12th, the Beverly Hills Police Dept. got a call from Bonavia's neighbor, who was alarmed after hearing screaming and pounding coming from Bonavia's house.

Law enforcement tells us, when cops arrived and knocked, Bonavia was uncooperative, so they forced their way in and found Bonavia and a woman, whose face was battered and bloody.

The woman was in bad enough shape that cops arrested Bonavia for attempted murder. The D.A. later charged him with felony injury on a cohabitant. He was also charged with making criminal threats.

And this isn't Bonavia's first brush with the law. In May 2014, another girlfriend accused him of hitting her with his fists and choking her.

And earlier this month, another millionaire from 'Millionaire Matchmaker' was charged with forcible rape, rape by use of drugs, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by a foreign object and attempted sodomy by use of force, and 2 counts of administering drugs to commit rape.

Kyle Richards stunned everyone Saturday when she took her estranged sister Kim to dinner for her birthday.

Kyle has put a tough love wall up between her and Kim since she fell off the wagon in Mexico several months ago. Things have not gotten better for Kim ... she was arrested for shoplifting at Target.

But all seemed well outside Ocean Prime in Bev Hills -- at least on the surface.

Kylie Jenner was the victim of a nasty attack Friday night after one fan pulled her hair, snapping her head back.

Jenner was leaving the Chris Brown concert in Anaheim when the incident took place -- you can tell by the look on Kylie's face, it was painful.

Luckily her security stepped in quickly and Kylie continued on her way.

Hair-pull aside, Kylie had an awesome time watching her bf Tyga perform with CB.

Kylie Jenner's in crisis ... how can an 18-year-old social media queen exist without a fully functional iPhone.

That was her dilemma Friday night as she went to The Nice Guy in West Hollywood with Tyga for dinner. Her screen is all cracked up.

A tattoo artist who appeared on the TV show "Best Ink" got nailed by cops for burglarizing her ex's apartment, but luckily ... she can drown her sorrows in the $200 beer stein she allegedly jacked.

Jessica Rotwein -- a Season 1 star on 'Ink' -- was arrested Thursday for the burglary cops say she pulled off back in March at her ex-boyfriend's Bronx apartment ... where security cams caught her coming through the front doors.

Rotwein was apparently fond of beverages -- she allegedly made off with the high-priced mug, 2 shot glasses, and $40 coffee maker. She also took her mail and a $15 shower caddy, 'cause y'know ... hygiene.

We're assuming it was a bad breakup.

Caitlyn Jenner proved she can keep up with the boys ... by playing from the most difficult tee box on the golf course.

Jenner hit up Sherwood Lake Club in Thousand Oaks, CA earlier this week, and drove her balls from the tee box farthest from the hole. Golfers call it the tips, and it's reserved for the most skilled players.

Caitlyn is a member of the exclusive Sherwood Country Club -- but while that course is under construction -- members have access to the 3-par course at the Lake Club.

As we previously reported -- Caitlyn will have to reestablish her golfing handicap with the USGA now that she's a woman. This oughta help.

"Bad Girls Club" alum Judi Jai is stranded in Jamaica after being kicked off a cruise for fist fighting.

Judi tells us she was on a weeklong trip with her close friend AC Style. The two got into an argument Tuesday night on the deck of the ship ... security broke it up and sent the girls to their room.

But it didn't end. Once in the cabin, the fight continued and Judi got physical, striking AC in the face. AC reported Judi to the ship's brass and the 'BGC' star was kicked off and stranded in Jamaica.

Judi tells us she NEVER hit AC. As for the trip, she booked a room in Montego Bay for the next two nights to salvage the rest of her vacation ... solo.

We reached out the cruise company for comment. So far ... no word back.

Kim Zolciak went nuts at LAX Monday night, claiming Delta was trying to separate her from her luggage -- but the trouble really started when she kinda bombed on 'Dancing with the Stars."

Kim was irate ... it appears she checked in for her flight at the last minute and the ticket agent said it was too late to check luggage.

Kim, who's on "Dancing with the Stars," protested, saying she has a lot of expensive stuff that could get lost. One of her people also went ballistic ... apparently he didn't get a boarding pass.

She went on Twitter to express her displeasure.

Kim's people tell us the mix-up was all over boarding passes ... that Delta couldn't find them for her daughter and hairstylist on the 10:10 PM flight. She says they all got re-booked on the 11:45 PM flight, but then her daughter got bumped to the wait list. Kim's rant was effective -- everyone eventually ended up getting on the 11:45 PM.

Apparently the folks at Delta didn't see the 'DWTS' premiere. If they had, they might have expected her to have a short fuse.
